Xfaxman, yup. That's the plan more or less. If the "pivot" is a weld (I haven't really looked), I might do something different but if not, that is the easy solution. In the event the bracket it welded there, I might go with a chain or at least some sort of semiflexible top link. What I mean by semi flexible would be a link of chain strung through a pipe. That would allow a large range of motion but not completely unlimited motion. I'd have to experiment with that. But your plan is the simplest, so long as that A Frame is not welded. My land is quite flat, so I don't really need a whole bunch of flex anyway.
The flex link is not upside down but I flipped it upside down. I would not normally hook up to it in this position.
